Changing the CSS Portraits Freezes My Game

[Gengar84]

I tried to follow the video tutorial on how to edit the common5.pac and it seemed like it was easy enough. When I was done, I saved it as common5.pac and put it onto the SD card. As soon as I enter the character select screen, the game freezes. I changed almost every portrait so I don't know if it was trying to load too much or what. Can someone help?

Probably trying to load too much. I'm guessing you freaked out the common5.pac by going over the file limit.

Try to save your CSS icons as CMPR when asked to replace the original CSS. That may or may not work.

EDIT- If you save it as CMPR it compresses by nearly half I believe so you don't have to worry about crashes. Common5.pac freaks out pretty bad if you go even 1 KB over the original file size

You changed almost every of the portraits? Did you try indexing the image to 256 palettes or lower? If so, you'd have to do it all over again.

And yes making CMPR lowers the data file size. (Although this doesn't work for me xD)

Also, export sc_selcharacter.pac/sc_selmap.pac if you're not using Riivolution.
